AI development heats up, fueled by big data

Artificial intelligence has been getting tons of attention lately, but for all its trendiness, it's far from a new concept. So why is this area of technology suddenly reinvigorated? In this edition of Talking Data, we address this question and try to assess what the future holds for the AI market. It turns out the sudden surge in interest in AI is closely linked to big data, a more recent tech trend that has breathed fresh life into AI development, a trend that has itself been around for decades. Now that businesses have huge troves of data, they are increasingly able to leverage it in smart applications. The podcast also looks at what businesses can expect from AI software in the future.
